THIS IS A VERY CLEAN AND WELL CARED FOR FIFTH GEN BRONCO THAT HAS BEEN A DRY, GARAGED AND BABIED CALIFORNIA TRUCK UNTIL WE PURCHASED IT AND BROUGHT IT UP HERE TO WASHINGTON STATE LAST YEAR. THIS BRONCO COMES WITH A CLEAN CALIFORNIA TITLE AND IS ROCK SOLID FROM TOP TO BOTTOM! 1996 IS THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER FOR THIS BODY STYLE AS 96 IS THE ONLY YEAR THAT IT HAS THE ROLLER MOTOR, OB2 COMPUTER SYSTEM AND MAF WHICH IS THE SAME AS ANY NEW VEHICLE TODAY AND MAKES IT MUCH EASIER TO DIAGNOSE ANY FUTURE ISSUES. THIS 96 BRONCO WAS ONE OF THE LAST AND BUILT TOWARD THE END OF PRODUCTION WITH A APRIL 1996 BUILD DATE AND COMES WITHALL THE ORIGINAL BOOKS AND MANUALS, BOOK JACKET AND ORIGINAL 96 SALES BROCHURES. THIS BRONCO IS BEYOND CLEAN AND IS ONE OF THE CLEANEST BRONCO'S WE HAVE HAD AND YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE LITTLE THINGS TO RECOGNIZE AND APPRECIATE THE ORIGINALITY AND QUALITY OF THIS BRONCO SUCH AS NOT ONLY HOW COMPLETE THIS BRONCO IS WITH EVEN THE LITTLE ACCESSORIES INTACT, BUT THE DEPTH AND QUALITY OF THE CHROME, THE CONDITION OF THE BLACK PLASTICS ON THE BUMPERS, THE CLARITY AND CONDITION IN THE PLASTIC OF THE LIGHTS AND THE CENTER AREA OF THE REAR BUMPER SHOWS LIKE NEW. THE ORIGINAL DEALER PAINT MARKINGS ON THE FRONT AND REAR DRIVE-LINES, THE ALUMINUM IS NICE AND BRIGHT NOT JUST ON ON THE REAR TAIL GATE LATCHES AND CABLE, BUT ALSO ON THE DIFFERENTIAL AND TRANSFER CASE PLUGS. THE ENGRAVED PART# ON THE BODY AND TRANSMISSION MOUNTS ARE DRY, CLEAN AND AS CLEAR AS THEY WERE NEARLY NEW. ALONG THE UNDERSIDE THE ASSEMBLE DECALS, TAGS, MARKINGS AND PART #'S ARE CLEAR ON THE REAR AXLE TUB, REAR FRAME, FRONT RADIUS ARMS AND ON FRONT I-BEAMS. UNDER THE HOOD IS EXTREMELY CLEAN WITH CLEAR FACTORY MARKINGS AND DECALS INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL CERTIFIED CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS DECAL. THE 1 AND ONLY OWNER REGULARLY HAD THE TRUCK SERVICED AT WALNUT CREEK FORD IN CALIFORNIA. THIS TRUCK TRULY PRESENTS, DRIVES AND RUNS EXCELLENT WITH NO ISSUES AND STANDS TALL IN CONDITION AGAINST NEWER LATE MODEL SUV'S. THIS BODY STYLE IS STARTING TO GET VERY HARD TO FIND IN NICE UNMOLESTED RUST FREE CONDITION LIKE THIS GREEN BEAUTY, ESPECIALLY WITH THESE LOW MILES AND ONLY 1 OWNERSHIP HISTORY.
BODY-THIS IS A DRY RUST FREE CALIFORNIA TRUCK THAT IS IN THE RARELY SEEN PACIFIC GREEN OVER THE DARKER GREEN MORE OFTEN SEEN. I WOULD RATE THIS TRUCK A STRONG 8 OUT OF 10 CONDITION, ESPECIALLY IN COMPARISON TO OTHER 20+ YEAR OLD VEHICLES YOU SEE ON THE ROAD TODAY. THE PAINT IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE AND SHOWS EXTREMELY WELL FROM TOP TO BOTTOM WITH A HIGH SHINE AND DEEP GLOSS THAT IS VERY REFLECTIVE AND THE DEPTH CAN BE SHOWN IN THE VIDEOS AND PICS. EVEN THE PAINT UNDER THE HOOD, ALONG FIRE WALL, DOOR JAMBS AND ON INNER TAILGATE JAMBS IS NICE AND SHINY LIKE YOU SEE ON THE OUTSIDE. THE TOP STILL IS IN A NICE LIGHT GREEN FACTORY FINISH AND NOT SUN DYED LIKE YOU OFTEN SEE. MOST OF YOU AVERAGE 20+ YEAR OLD SUV'S YOU WOULD TYPICALLY EXPECT A LOT OF CHIPS, WEAR AND ROAD DAMAGE, BUT THIS 96 HAS VERY LITTLE ON THE THE OUTSIDE, INSIDE AND UNDERSIDE OF THIS TRUCK. EVEN IN THE REAR WHEEL WELLS IT IS STILL NICE AND CLEAN GREEN PAINT FREE OF ROAD GRIME OR DIRT ALONG WITH THE UNDERSIDE OF THE BODY. THIS CLASSIC FORD COMES FULLY LOADED WITH DELUXE XLT CHROME PKG, TOW PKG,FACTORY CHROME WHEELS WITH NEW FACTORY SIZED TIRES JUST LAST YEAR AND ALL WRAPPED IN THIS HARD TO FIND FACTORY COLOR OPTION. I'M ALWAYS ON THE LOOK OUT FOR THESE BRONCO'S IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS THAT STAND OUT ON THIS BRONCO LIKE THE REAR BUMPER PLASTIC CENTER STEP PAD NEAR THE HITCH IS IN NEAR PERFECT SHAPE ALONG WITH THE LITTLE SILVER DOME COVERS FOR THE LICENSE LIGHTS ARE PRISTINE AND THOSE TWO ARE USUALLY THE FIRST THINGS TO GET BANGED UP OR FLAKE, THE TOP HAS NEVER BEEN OFF, HAS NO LEAKS, FADING, NO CHIPS OR CRACKS. ALL THE GLASS IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND ORIGINAL EXCEPT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD THAT HAS BEEN REPLACED AT ONE POINT. THE CHROME IS BRIGHT WITH A CLEAR AND CRISP REFLECTION, ALL LIGHTS STILL HAVE THAT SMOOTH SHINY LOOK AND FEEL THAT ARE FULL OF COLOR AND NOT FADED OR FOGGED OUT, THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE NO FADING OR CONDENSATION INSIDE, EVEN THE BLACK RUBBER AROUND THE SIDE GLAS, REAR TAILGATE AND SIDE FLY WINDOWS IS STILL A NICE DEEP SHADE WITH NO CRACKS AND NOT FADED OUT TO A GREY LIKE YOU USUALLY SEE. THE ABOVE B PILLARS HAVE NO HAIRLINE CRACKS AND THE ABOVE RAIN GUTTERS ARE CLEAN WITH FACTORY SEAL AND GLOSSY PAINT ALONG WITH THE ENTIRE ROOF. THIS BRONCO HAS A NICE SHINE AND CRISP FACTORY STANCE THAT WILL GET A TON OF COMPLIMENTS. THE ONLY WEAR MARKS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE OUTSIDE ARE SOME TYPICAL SMALL STONE CHIPS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A PEN TIP THAT YOU WILL SEE IF YOU GET REALLY CLOSE, BUT THIS BRONCO HAS ABOUT A TENTH OF WHAT YOU TYPICALLY SEE AND WOULD EXPECT AND ARE MAINLY LOCATED ON THE FRONT VALANCE BELOW THE GRILLE, ALONG THE BOTTOM AREAS AFTER THE TIRES, ALONG THE FRONT OF HOOD AND A COUPLE ON THE TOPSIDE OF HOOD. THE DRIVER DOOR AREA HAS TYPICAL MINOR ENTRY WEAR ON INNER ROCKER, A COUPLE SMALL CHIPS AROUND THE DOOR EDGE AND SOME VERY FAINT KEY ENTRY WEAR NEAR THE DRIVER DOOR KEY HOLE. THERE IS A FEW SMALL HAIRLINE LOADING SCRATCHES ON TOP OF TAILGATE, A COUPLE SMALL CHIPS IN PAINT ON TOP OUTER EDGES AND THIS TRUCK HAD A VERY MINOR SLOW SPEED REAR ENDER IN 2006 THAT CONTACTED ONLY THE REAR SPARE TIRE CARRIER AND PUT A SLIGHT DENT IN THE TAILGATE AT THE TOP CENTER LATCH MOUNT, BUT CAUSED NO PAINT CRACKING OR DAMAGE. THE TOP RIGHT EDGE OF THE TAILGATE ALSO HAS SOME SMALL DAMAGE THAT I HAVE SEEN BEFORE ON BRONCO'S FROM WHEN THE TAILGATE IS DROPPED DOWN AND THE TIRE CARRIER ISN'T FULLY OPEN IT HITS THAT LOWER ARM AND CAUSES THAT DAMAGE, BUT THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT QUARTER PANEL WHERE THERE TIRE CARRIER MOUNTS ABOVE AND BELOW THE TAIL LIGHT LIKE YOU WILL OFTEN SEE. THERE IS A SMALL CHIP ON FRONT AND REAR UPPER WHEEL WHEEL EDGE OF DRIVER SIDE, A THIN SCRATCH ABOVE RIGHT REAR WHEEL WHEEL, THIN 1 INCH SCRATCH NEAR RIGHT TAIL LIGHT ALONG CENTER OF PASSENGER DOOR AND A 2 INCH LONG ONE IN FRONT CENTER OF DRIVER FENDER. THE PASSENGER DOOR AT ONE TIME HAD THE MIRROR COME IN CONTACT WITH SOMETHING THAT CLOSED AGAINST THE DOOR AND PUT A THIN INDENT IN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTER ROUNDED EDGE OF THE MIRROR AND CHIPPED THE PAINT IN A COUPLE AREAS FROM THE MIRROR BREAKING AND THE MIRROR WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE. THERE IS A SMALL GROUPING OF TINY CHIPS ON THE TOP CENTER AREA OF RIGHT FENDER, A 1 INCH SIZED SCRATCH IN DRIVER DOOR BELOW FRONT OF HANDLE, A COUPLE THIN SCRATCHES ON LEFT REAR QUARTER PANEL JUST AFTER THE DOOR OPENING ALONG WITH TWO SMALL ONES BELOW EMBLEM OF DRIVER FENDER AND JUST BEFORE DRIVER TAIL LIGHT. THERE IS A SMALL 1 INCH AREA OF AGING ON THE THE PASSENGER CHROME HEADLIGHT BEZEL NEAR THE FENDER AND HOOD GAP, SOME THIN HAIRLINE SURFACE SCRATCHES IN THE PAINT AROUND THE GAS DOOR THAT LOOKS LIKE IT IS FROM THE GAS CAP HANGING DURING FILL UPS AND THE HOSE OF THE GAS PUMP. THE HOOD AND ROOF HAS THE MOST WEAR WITH SMALL CHIPS AND HAIRLINE SCRATCHES ON THE THE TOP SIDE OF HOOD AND THERE IS SOME VERY SMALL MARKS IN THE PAINT OF THE TOPSIDE OF ROOF AND HOOD THAT LOOKS LIKE IT MAY BE FROM ACID RAIN OR OLD TREE SAP THAT WAS CLEANED OFF, BUT IT STILL HAS A NICE SHINE AND THEY ARE VERY HARD TO SEE AS LONG AS YOU KEEP THE DRY WAX OUT OF THEM. . ALL OF THESE ARE VERY MINOR AND FAR LESS THAN EXPECTED ESPECIALLY ON A 4WD VEHICLE OF THIS AGE AND CAN BE SEEN IN THE WALK AROUND VIDEO AND IN THE LAST PICS JUST AFTER UNDER CARRIAGE SHOTS. OVERALL THIS BRONCO IS AMAZING.
INTERIOR-THE INSIDE OF THIS TRUCK MATCHES THE OUTSIDE IN QUALITY AND CONDITION AND IS COMPLETE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO EVEN ALL THE LITTLE ACCESSORIES THAT ARE USUALLY MISSING AS MENTIONED ABOVE WITH THE ORIGINAL BOOKS, SALES BROCHURE CENTER CONSOLE CUP HOLDERS AND REAR SPARE TIRE COVER! THIS BRONCO IS A SMOKE AND PET FREE TRUCK IT'S WHOLE LIFE WITH NO ODORS. IT IS ALL FACTORY ORIGINAL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE STEREO AND THIS TRUCK HAS A VERY CLEAN INTERIOR WITH MINIMAL SIGNS OF AGE .THE STEERING HAS VERY MINIMAL WEAR AND THE LEATHER IS STILL NICE AND TIGHT, WHICH FOR ANY PERSON FAMILIAR WITH THIS ERA OF TRUCK KNOWS THAT IN ITSELF IS HARD TO FIND AS THE FORD LEATHER STEERING WHEELS USUALLY JUST DIDN'T HOLD UP TO TIME WELL. THE DOORS SHUT LIKE NEW WITH NO SAG, LOCKS AN DUN LOCKS EASILY, WINDOWS ROLL UP AND DOWN QUICK, ALL FLY WINDOWS ARE NICE AND TIGHT AND LOCK SECURELY. PERFECT DOOR PANELS AND INSIDE THE DOOR JAMBS AND HINGE AREA IS THE SAME BEAUTIFUL BRIGHT GLOSSY PAINT AS THE OUTSIDE WITH NO DIRT OR GREASE. THE FRONT AND REAR SEATS ARE IN GREAT SHAPE WITH JUST A LITTLE WEAR ON THE TOP OF THE DRIVER BOTTOM AND SOME SMALL INDENTS ON THE INNER REAR SEAT FROM BEING FOLDED DOWN ON THE SEAT BELTS, BUT SHOULD FADE BACK OUT WITH TIME AND USE IF SEAT IS LEFT OPEN. BOTH FOLD DOWN CENTER ARM RESTS WORK PROPERLY AND ARE NOT BROKEN OR LOOSE, THE SEATS SPRING FORWARD AND SLIDE EASILY AND THE SEAT BELT RE-TRACTORS ARE IN GREAT SHAPE AND NOT WORN OUT AND PULL THEM SELVES BACK ONCE YOU UNBUCKLE. THE REAR SEAT IS REMOVABLE WITH TWO SMALL PINS AND ALSO FOLDS UP FOR ADDITIONAL CARGO SPACE IN THE REAR. PERFECT FRONT HEADLINER AND SUN VISORS,BUT THE REAR HEADLINER FELT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS SOME THING LONG THAT WAS LOADED IN THE BACK GET PUSHED UP INTO IT AND DAMAGED IT RIGHT IN THE CENTER. THE WHOLE DASH IS ALMOST PERFECT WITH JUST TWO TINY NICKS ON THE VERY RIGHT SIDE THAT CAN ONLY BE SEEN WITH THE DOOR OPEN, BUT OTHERWISE LOOKS NEW WITH CRYSTAL CLEAR GAUGES, BRIGHT GREY FINISH WITH NICE AND DEEP BLACK TRIM. EVEN ALL THE INTERIOR GREY TRIM HAS NO SCRATCHES, FADING OR CHIPS. THE INNER TOP TRIM PIECES AND SIDE PANELS ARE ALL IN PLACE. ALL ELECTRICAL SWITCHES WORK, LIGHTS, STEREO, COLD A/C, PWR WINDOWS, PWR LOCKS, CIGARETTE LIGHTER, REAR DEFROSTER, THE REAR WINDOW ROLLS DOWN & UP FROM THE INSIDE SWITCH AND OUTER TAILGATE SWITCH. CRISP AND NICE SOUNDING NEW STEREO AND SPEAKERS, EASY TO OPERATE TILT STEERING AND STEERING WHEEL MOUNTED CRUISE CONTROL. THE CARPET IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE EVEN AND THE ONLY OTHER AGING OR WEAR IS SOME IN THE REAR CARGO CARPET AND AROUND THE DRIVER VINYL FOOT PAD, BUT IT IS VERY HARD TO NOTICE. OVERALL THIS 86K MILE 1 OWNER'S INTERIOR IS AN EXTREMELY CLEAN AND VERY NICE INTERIOR .
MECHANICAL- . THIS BRONCO HAS A VERY CLEAN ENGINE BAY THAT YOU COULD NEARLY EAT OFF OF. THE COMPLETE UNDERSIDE OF BODY IS DRY AND CLEAN ALONG WITH THE WHOLE DRIVE-TRAIN AND AS MENTIONED ABOVE IT HAS MANY DEALER PAINT MARKINGS, DECALS, PART NUMBERS AND TAGS THAT ARE USUALLY FAR GONE OR WORN AWAY CLEARLY INTACT, SO PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO CHECK OUT THE LOWER PHOTOS. THIS BRONCO CAME FACTORY EQUIPPED WITH THE LEGENDARY 5.0L 302FUEL INJECTED V8 MOTOR BACKED BY AUTOMATIC 4-SPEED OVERDRIVE TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS PERFECTLY WITH QUICK DOWN SHIFTS AND NICE AND SMOOTH CONSISTENT UP SHIFTS. THIS BRONCO HAS A TIGHT STEERING, TRACKS AND DRIVES STRAIGHT WITH NO NOISES OR PLAY AND HAS EASY TO MANEUVER POWER STEERING. POWER BRAKES THAT STOP FIRM AND STRAIGHT WITH NO PULLING, NOISES SHACKING OR ISSUES.THE 302 MOTOR PULLS STRONG AND SMOOTH AT ALL TIMES AND IN ALL CONDITIONS AND DOES NOT SMOKE, HESITATE, KNOCK, TICK OR LEAK A DROP. IT HAS THE MANUAL SHIFT TRANSFER CASE WITH AUTOMATIC HUB 4WD SYSTEM THAT LIGHTS UP ONCE ENGAGED. THE OWNER JUST HAD ALL THE BRAKES DONE, FUEL SYSTEM FLUSHED, FUEL FILTER, TRANS SERVICE DONE WITHIN THE LAST 8K MILES AT THE FORD DEALER. ONCE WE TOOK OWNERSHIP WE HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND HAD THE RADIATOR REPLACED, DUE TO A VERY SMALL LEAK, FRESH OIL CHANGE, RADIUS ARM BUSHINGS AND NEW TIRES. THIS IS A VERY TIGHT AND SOLID RIDE THAT IS DEPENDABLE, SMOOTH AND IS A FUN EASY TO DRIVE TRUCK THAT CAN BE TAKEN ANYWHERE!

GOOD LUCK AND THIS WILL GO TO HIGHIEST BID!!!!The older the car, the harder it is to define the condition of the vehicle.Most of our vehicles are specialty vehicles or are 15+ years old, and usually trucks. Because of this, it is very difficult to describe each vehicle to everyone’s satisfaction. Based on the bidder'spersonal experience, some bidders will be overly pleased with my description and pictures, and others may feel that I fell short. I postthese auctions based on how I want to see auctions when I’m buying, keeping in mind what I look for, and I try to put your eye's to what I can see and touch. Please help me by asking all questions and letting me know if other pictures are wanted. If you do not see a pic or description of a item or a area on the truck please do not assume anything and ask me about the specifics your a needing or for more pics and i will post every question asked by members so all potential bidders can see. Every car is available for inspection and i personally drive each vehicle before listing it and If anything does not work properly I will let you know. Of course I amonly human and these are mechanical creatures and these are usedvehicles, so please keep t
